Definitions
- the present invention relates to apparatus for transferring images from photographic media to electronic media, and particularly to a video transfer device for transferring images from films or transparencies (slides) and from prints (photos) to an electronic, video recording medium.
- the invention is especially suitable for use in providing a video transfer device for the home or consumer market so that a non-professional can, without substantial investment in equipment, transfer photos, films and slides to videotape or other video recording media.
- Video transfer devices which have heretofore been available have been limited in functionality in that transfer of images from transparencies, and particularly slides, has required the need for a slide projector. It is the principal feature of this invention to provide for slide to video transfer from individual slides which are mounted in a holder attachable to the device; the device providing illumination sufficiently concentrated to project the image carried by the slide to a video camera, for example which is part of a video recorder of the type generically known as a camcorder.
- An ancillary feature of the invention is to provide other modes of video transfer for motion picture film and/or slides projected on a film or slide projector and also for photo (prints carrying reflective images) to video transfer, and without incurring significant increase in cost on account of the addition of the direct slide to video transfer capability. It is a further feature of the invention to provide a simple and effective means for incorporating all three modes of operation (photo to video transfer, projected motion picture film or slides to video transfer and direct slide to video transfer) in a video transfer device.
- apparatus for transferring images on motion picture film, photographs (prints) and transparencies (slides) to video signals recorded on video recording media utilizes a box having a plurality of openings, first and second ones of which are along the first axis and another of which is along a second axis transverse to the first axis.
- a first mirror is mounted in the box for reciprocal movement between first and second positions along a linear path which is inclined to both the first and second axes. When in its first position, the first mirror reflects images projected from motion picture film or transparencies through the third opening to tile first opening, adjacent to which and outside of the box, a video camera which provides the video signals can be located.
- a lamp in the box is disposed between the path of the first mirror and the second opening for illuminating a region outside of the box through the second opening when the lamp is activated.
- the first mirror is moveable to its second position out of blocking relationship of an image reflected along the first axis from a print disposed outside the box adjacent to the second opening through tile first opening to the video camera when it is disposed outside the box adjacent to the first opening.
- a second mirror preferably mounted on an opposite side of a body which carries the first mirror, is reciprocally movable with the first mirror between the first and second positions.
- the second mirror faces the second opening, when it is disposed in the first position, and is inclined with respect to the first axis to reflect light from the lamp through the second opening, thereby concentrating the light and increasing the intensity of the illumination so that an image on a transparency (the slide) which is disposed adjacent to the second opening is directly transferred to the video camera when it is disposed outside the box in the path of the images projected through the transparency.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a video transfer device embodying the invention showing the photo/slide holder thereof before attachment to the device;
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the device shown in FIG. 1 with the upper housing and lower housing assemblies thereof separated from each other and without the lens inserted in the lower assembly;
- FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the upper assembly when viewed from the end thereof which has the lens receiving opening and showing the top of the device from the inside thereof;
- FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the upper assembly in upright position and viewed from the end thereof which receives the photo/slide holder;
- FIG. 5 is a sectional view along the line 5--5 in FIG. 4 illustrating the dual mirror body, the knob which supports the body in depending relationship from the top of the upper assembly and the s lot which guides the dual mirrors between positions for photo to video transfer and for motion picture/slide projection transfer and direct slide to video transfer;
- FIG. 5A is a fragmentary, sectional view taken along the line 5A--5A in FIG. 5;
- FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of the device viewed looking upwardly from the bottom thereof and showing the dual mirror assembly in its two alternate positions.
- a box 12 has upper and lower halves 14 and 16 (parts of upper and lower housing assemblies 17 and 19 shown in FIG. 2) which come together at a joint 18.
- This joint is preferably a rabette joint (not shown) formed by overlapping lips so as to be light tight along the joint 18.
- the box 12 is generally square in horizontal cross-section and is suitably approximately 10 inches wide along each side and 6 inches high.
- the box is supported on a base 20 having 3 legs 120° apart and a post which may be adjustable in height which is attached at its top to the bottom 22 of the box 12.
- openings in the box There are three openings in the box.
- One of these openings 24 is rectangular, being longer in a direction between the side edges 26 and 28 than in the direction between the upper and lower edges 32 and 34 of the box.
- Another opening 36 which is generally square is located in a side wall of tile box.
- a third circular opening 38 is located in the side of the box opposite to the side having the rectangular opening 24.
- a line (a first axis) through the center of the openings 24 and 38 lies along the plane of the joint 18 and is perpendicular to a line (a second axis) through the center of the square opening 36 which also lies along the plane of the joint 18 (which is a horizontal plane through the middle of the box).
- These axis lines are shown at 40 and 42 in the schematic view (FIG. 6).
- the line 42 and the opening 36 are offset from the center of the box toward the side wall containing the rectangular opening 24.
- This arrangement lends itself to the positioning of a reciprocally movable, dual mirror assembly 44 which depends from the top wall 46 of the box 12 as will become more apparent hereinafter.
- the box is desirably made from opaque plastic, for example polystyrene.
- the dual mirror assembly includes a support body 48 which is desirably also made of a plastic material such as polycarbonate.
- a glass (transparent) plate 50 is disposed in the rectangular opening 24 and held in place by ribs 52 and 54 along the sides of the opening 24 which defines grooves for receiving the plate 50. Notches on side wall stiffening ribs 56 also support the bottom and inside surface of the plate 50.
- a translucent plate 58 which has light diffusing characteristics is located in the opening 36 and held in place by grooved side ribs 60 and 62 (see FIG. 2) and also by notched ribs 64 similar to the ribs 56.
- the circular opening 38 receives a lense 66 which is held in place by notched ribs 68 in a manner similar to which the notched ribs 56 and 64 retain the plates 50 and 58.
- the lense 66 focuses the images from tile slides motion picture film or photos (prints) onto a video tape camera (VTC or camcorder) when it is disposed outside the box 12 adjacent the opening 38 containing the lense 66 as shown in FIG. 6.
- the focus of the lense is at or near the plane of the images at the slide or the motion picture film projector or adjacent to tile glass plate 50.
- Alignment of the upper and lower halves 14 and 16 of the box 12 is facilitated by posts 70 and 71 near the corners of the box.
- the posts 70 are recessed at the top thereof to receive the posts 71 in the upper half 14 of the box.
- Bolts extending through the posts 70 into threaded holes in the posts 71 in the upper half 14 of the box assemble the upper and lower housing assemblies 17 and 19 into an integrated assembly.
- the lower assembly contains the transparent plate 50 and the diffusing plate 58 as well as tile lense 66. It also contains a lamp assembly 74 having a cylindrical flourescent lamp 76 and electrical power supply components for providing regulated current to the lamp. These components are shown at 78.
- the assembly 74 is mounted on a tray 67 which is releaseably secured in the bottom 22 of the box and may be pivoted at one end and latched at the other end. The assembly is removeable to facilitate changing of the lamp 76 when it burns out and also servicing of the components.
- a switch 80 for activating the lamp (turning it on and off) and a plug 82 for an output jack from an AC to DC adapter which supplies current to the circuits on the assembly 74 are located on the side of the lower assembly 19 (see FIG. 2).
- the lamp assembly 74 also includes a reflector 77 which surrounds the lamp 76 along the bottom and sides thereof. This reflector is also mounted together with the lamp and its circuitry on the tray which is pivoted at one end and latched at the other end to the bottom 22 of the box 12.
- a notched holder plate 90 of opaque, preferably plastic material, is received between flanges 92 in tile upper half 14 of the box 12 and rests on a bar 94.
- a photo or print is held by the plate between an inside surface thereof facing the transparent glass plate 50 and that plate 50, when video transfer of a reflected image from a photo or print is desired.
- the holder plate 90 also has a generally square opening 96 in which a translucent (ground glass or plastic) diffusing plate 98 (of material similar to the plate 58) is disposed.
- Flanges 100 and a bar 102 receive the edges and bottom of a transparency (a standard slide) when direct transfer of the image on that slide to video is desired.
- the three modes of operation of the device 10 are obtained by selectively activating or deactivating the lamp 76 to provide a source of illumination for transfer from a photo or direct transfer from the slide which is inserted in the receptacle therefore on the holder 90.
- the lamp is turned off when transfer from a motion picture film or a slide projected by a film or slide projector through the diffusing plate 58 in the opening 36 is desired.
- the modes of operation are obtained by positioning the dual mirror assembly 44. This assembly is shown in FIG. 2 and also in FIGS. 3, 4, 5 and 5a. It utilizes two mirrors 104 and 106 which are disposed on opposite sides of the support body 48. Both mirrors are inclined to the axes 40 and 42.
- the mirror 104 is inclined at a 45° angle to the axis 40.
- the mirror 106 is inclined downwardly to the axis 40 and also to a plane containing the axis 42.
- the mirror 106 is disposed above the lamp 76 and is also inclined to horizontal plane containing the axis of the cylindrical lamp 76.
- the mirror 106 is on a projection 108 from the body 48 which provides a platform on which the mirror 106 is disposed with its reflective surface in the path of illumination from the backside of the lamp.
- the illumination from lamp 76 and reflected by mirror 106 is illumination which would be wasted in that it is directed away from the holder 90 and therefore would be unavailable for illuminating the slide in the slide receptacle on the holder 90.
- the upper and lower edges of the mirror 106 are parallel to the transparent plate 50 and to the slide when in its receptacle on the holder 90.
- the dual mirror assembly is positioned for the direct transfer of the image on the slide to the video camera (the camcorder)
- the mirror 106 is directly opposite to the slide and reflects illumination from the lamp onto the slide. This concentrates the illumination, increasing its intensity. The intensity is now sufficient to provide for the direct transfer of the image on the slide to the camcorder.
- FIG. 6 shows the mirror 106 in the position opposite to the diffuser plate 98 and the slide 105 which is in the receptacle on the holder 90.
- Both mirrors 104 and 106 are reciprocal along a linear path defined by a guide slot 110 (see also FIG. 1). This path is transverse to both axes 40 and 42 (see FIG. 6).
- the upper part of the body 48 is provided with a flange 112 which is supported against a rib 114 which contains the guide slot 110 along the center thereof.
- a tongue 116 extends upwardly from the body into a knob 118 which is attached in a slot 120 in the knob by means of a set screw 122 (see FIG. 5A).
- the bottom of the knob 118 defines a shoulder 124 with a neck 126 projecting into the groove 126 in the rib 114.
- the knob 118 therefore supports the dual mirror assembly in depending relationship from the top 46 of the box 12.
- the dual mirror assembly is therefore reciprocally moveable along the guide slot 110 between the position shown in full and in dash lines at 130 and 132, respectively in FIG. 6.
- the flange 112 is stopped by the side wall of the box 12.
- the dual mirror assembly is out of the path of illumination reflected from the photo held by the holder 90 against the plate 58. Transfer of the image on the photo through the lense to the video tape camera, then positioned outside tile box adjacent to the opening 38 containing the lense 66, then can occur.
- the movie film or slide projector is disposed outside the box adjacent to the diffuser plate 58 in the opening 36.
- the dual mirror assembly is in the position 130 in FIG. 6.
- the lamp 76 is turned off.
- the lense 66 provides gross or macrofocusing. Fine focusing may be accomplished by adjusting the lense of the camcorder.
